Peony birthday card

Hi there everyone. How are you today? My sister, Fern, made me this lovely peony card for my birthday last Friday. It's one of the most beautiful cards I've ever seen!!



Peony is one of my favorite flowers, she also got me a mini peony roll-on perfume from L'Occitane. It smells amazing! I love it :)


We also went to Caffé Demetre for some desserts. I had Belgian waffle with cookie n' cream flavored ice-cream. I love desserts there. What's your favorite ice-cream flavors? I just can't decide between Tiramisu and Green tea flavored!! I just love them both :)


Hope you all have a nice Monday!

Birthday

Hi everyone. How are you today? I'm sorry for the inconsistent post. My week has been kind of hectic these days. Well, it's my birthday today. I'm turning 28! OMG....I still can't believe it (I feel kinda old!!).

Atchan celebrated an early birthday for me since last week, he had to go back to Japan during my birthday. We had brunch at Milestones on Yonge and Dundas (that location had the nicest view of downtown Toronto), followed by a nice dinner at a Spanish restaurant, Segovia.



My plan for today is having a nice quiet dinner and maybe dessert with family and friends! Hope you all have a lovely weekend :)

Lovely + Inspiring { All About Walls }

I'm really into homes with blue/sea foam wall color these days. It really brightens up the whole room, don't you think?

Shop n' Promotions { Initial necklaces }

Hi there everyone. Good morning!! I hope you love Fridays as much as I do!! I just listed new initial necklaces on my shop last night. Initial necklace is so special in my opinion. It's personal and made especially just for you. It could be your own initial or someone special's initial to keep it close to your heart. It also makes a great personalized gift too! I just love it :)

They come in two colors (for now), Minty green and Snow.

I think Minty green is so in this season. I've seen it everywhere from dress, purse to nail polish!


White is so classic and timeless. I'm keeping one with letter A (Atchan)!

More colors will be available later in July. Do you prefer bright colors or pastel hues? Love to discuss?

By the way, do you have any plans for the weekend? I'm planning to go to Little Italy during the weekend. There will be some festivals going on. My friend who owns a Thai restaurant is going to sell to-go food at the festival (pad thai, spring rolls, yumm), I'm thinking about dropping by to say hi :)

Fabulous finds { Plus Minus Zero }

Hi friends....how are you today? Do you enjoy watching the world cup so far? I know I do!!! Do you have a favorite team? Love to share?



Atchan received wedding gifts from his cousin the other day. It's from the brand Plus Minus Zero. We received a wall clock and couple mugs. The style is simple and modern. I'm thinking to hang the clock when we get an apartment in Japan :)

Wedding photos are here :)

Hello everyone. How was your weekend? I'm so happy to tell you that I have received our wedding photos last Friday and I LOVE all of them. Christine Lim is our wedding photographer, she is the sweetest person you will ever meet! I fell in love with her photos and I'm so happy she is our wedding photographer. I'm excited to share some photos with you. Feel free to leave comments :)

Our wedding took place in Toronto Island. We were so lucky the weather was nice and warm. Such a perfect day for an outdoor wedding. We have close friends and family flown in from Japan and Thailand. I can't believe it's been almost three weeks already. It's still fresh like it was yesterday.








Our ride.....I got dressed at the bed and breakfast on Ward's Island on the wedding day and it was impossible to walk from Ward's Island to the Centre Island, so Atchan rented two seaters bicycle to pick me up!! Too cute to be true. All the guests love it, everyone tried riding on it, yes, even with skirts! :)

I hope you all have a great Monday!!!

Red shoes with bows

Hi there lovelies. How are you today? I went to Pacific Mall yesterday to get contact lens I have ordered, and then I found these red shoes with bows at one of the shoe stores.



The bows are my favorite parts of the shoes, but my sister made a comment that they looked like Minnie Mouse's shoes hahaha. I noticed a slight defect at the sole, that's probably why they were on sale for only $15.

I'm totally obsessed with shoes, what about you?

Photos by me :)

Lovely + Inspiring { The art of jumping }

Hello Monday. How was everyone's weekend? I'm feeling great this morning. In fact, I'm feeling like these photos below. I found amazing photos of people jumping. I thought they would be great to start a new week. I just love it. So lively, inspiring and exciting!! I hope you will love them too :)

Class of WooHoo

Good morning everyone. How are you today? I'm on my way to my sister's convocation at OCAD. She is graduating today! I'm so happy for her. Congratulations again Fern!

Happy Graduation Week!

Today's Brunch { Frittata }

Hi there lovelies. How are you today? I got up so early this morning, I couldn't stop thinking about omelette I had at the bed and breakfast with Atchan last Thursday.

It was such a nice, lovely and memorable day. All the stresses about the wedding were gone. The bed and breakfast where we were staying served cheese omelette with toast and mixed fruits on the balcony. The balcony had such pretty views of Toronto Island. I think it was the best morning I ever had since I could remember. I thought the wedding was so nice, but the next morning with your hubby was even better!!

I thought it would be nice to have something similar to start the day. I decided to make frittata. I found this recipe while surfing for egg and brunch recipes. It got great reviews and worth trying.


Photos won't do justice, it tasted so good!

I'm back

Hi everyone. Happy Monday. I can't believe it's already the end of May. Time flies so fast when you are busy, don't you think?

Atchan and I had so much fun at the wedding. It was such a lovely day for us. We had close friends and family attended. The wedding couldn't happen without them all. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!!

Today is actually the first day I have time for myself since the wedding day. My mother and aunt in law flew back to Japan yesterday. We took them to Niagara falls, Niagara by the lake and wine tasting, yum! I'm so happy they came to our wedding and we got along so well. I will definitely have to improve my Japanese!

I hope you all have a fun Monday. I wish I had photos to show you, but I'm still waiting for the pictures from the photographer :)
